There was much ado in South Dublin's Clondalkin.

Apparently a stomach and entrails were discovered in a bin and everyone had their shit in a knot (ha) over whether or not the remains were human -- it turns out they weren't, they belonged to a dearly-departed sheep, but given the Republic's devotion to the glorious Kathleen Ni Houlihan and the Catholic church, its no wonder they've lost the ability to tell the difference between citizens and sheep.

This would have never happened in Scotland, wasting sheep innards like that.

	Oh, no. Surely not. That is a decidedly insufficient quantity of wine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They're eating a sheep stomach -- you can't expect them to be generous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think I can expect them to offer something better to wash it down with. Mon dieu. And I thought brains were fucking awful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I just can't understand why anyone would want to eat the stomach of a sheep. Really -- is it just about dominance? Is it some message being sent to other sheep? This is what happens to those who seek to rebel... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'd say it's the sheep's last revenge, rather. You shear the hell out of a thing for its entire life, eat its godawful mutton, do I don't even know what with the rest of it - you ought to have to eat the leftovers, I guess. It's only fair. Let the poor thing haunt you for the night. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It hangs about your window like a case of stomach ache. I may never eat another lamb. Not, perhaps, until Easter. I've never been for vegetarianism, but then, I'd never considered digesting something else's digestive organs - it's perverse, positively perverse, fit for a Trimalchio or an emperor.

	I'd almost be worried it would try to digest me in turn. I don't have the stomach for it at all, really. Ha. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Plenty of spleen, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What stuff. You know I adore your spleen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Your stuffs. The stuffs of legend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My stuffs are hardly legendary. Nothing I'd ever want to see reduced to the fate of that poor sheep's stuffs, but - hardly legendary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I would never put your innards in a bin, my friend. [STEPHEN \| GRANTAIRE] There is a girl. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nor stuff them with - whatever the hell that was? [STEPHEN \| GRANTAIRE] You shock me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oats, I think. [STEPHEN \| GRANTAIRE] She's English. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eugh. [STEPHEN \| GRANTAIRE] Well, some people are born that way, you know. She's still a girl. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[STEPHEN \| GRANTAIRE] stephendedalus 2013-03-04 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	I was born that way. With any luck, by the look of it, I won't die that way. She's a very clever thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll admit exchanging photographs is a little ahead of my time in terms of courting rituals, so I'm not the most qualified to give advice, but - it's only tea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And tea you've managed successfully in the past. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
